Great food, great service, great price.
Burger and Fries for my 5 year old, Cobb salad for me. Happy to pay $34 plus $6 tip for freshly made food, but was disappointed with the wait. Salad was great, when I ordered the guy asked if I wanted “individual or medium”. I ordered medium. I think it’s actually the family size. It was a lot, good for main dish for one really really (really) hungry person, but I didn’t finish it. Tons of avocado and bacon and chicken, they didn’t skimp on ingredients. I will recommend the salad to friends. Burger and fries seemed like they would be good but they were cold by the time we ate. The reason I can’t give 5 stars is because it took 30 minutes to get food and burger and fries were done 10 minutes before the salad so they were stone cold by the time we ate. I think the 2 person crew may have been overwhelmed with catering orders (it was Mother’s Day) as the stand itself wasn’t crowded. I think they could have been up front about the time before we ordered which would have set my expectations and allows me to chose if another place might be better that day with a fidgety 5 year old. We will try again as the the salad was 10/10.
Delicious food from exceptional burgers and chicken tenders to the specials which I’ve never been disappointed by.
killer local place, so thankful it's in walking distance. don't sleep on their catering options either, they take the best care of you and are incredibly easy to work with. kids also love the chicken tenders ?
I've tried Big Guy's twice now to the dismay of my neighbors who catered Thanksgiving and have never gone back. They did try to forewarn me. I've tried two burgers, fries and the pot roast sandwich. The burgers were ok. They were the Monday $5 special before the patty weight was reduced from 6oz to 4oz to avoid the 10% surcharge. Not a bad burger...just not what one would expect the best damn burger to be. There are great burgers out there, just not here. I love pot roast and drove out again in December to try the sandwich. It was a $14.95 disappointment. My skimpy shredded sandwich was a feeble comparison to the meaty and chunky photos and videos provided by Big Guy's. I did respond to their email query giving my visit a thumbs down and the reasons why. The weight of the meat was less than the one and a half pounds advertised. Plus, a substantial portion of the pot roast was inedible fat. The fried onions overpowered the sandwich due to the high ratio of onions to meat. Lastly, the horseradish sauce was not included. I didn't hear from them for a month and then it was just a "hey friend, where ya been? email soliciting more business. One reviewer commented that if something is missing from your order just contact them. They'll make it right. It makes me wonder if Big Guy's sends out incomplete orders regularly. And I can honestly say it wasn't made right for me. If I had gotten the complete serving of pot roast with limited fat and the horseradish sauce, I might have enjoyed it. But this particular night I would have been better served going next door to Culver's for their pot roast. This was also at a time when the mask mandate was in effect for Illinois. The man behind the counter cooking and preparing food while visible to all was not wearing one.
Honestly been wanting to go to this location for a very long time and just really never got around to it especially with the pandemic going on but finally did get to experience the food from here... And I have to honestly say that it was very disappointing ordered a cheeseburger and a Polish two fries and a drink and it came out to over $32 which was a little outrageous my burger was smaller than the bun itself they listed the Polish as a Maxwell Street Polish, which if you're from Chicago you know Maxwell Street is a staple it's delicious it's inexpensive but their version was absolutely tasteless just was not worth the price it's overly hyped and overly expensive now I understand the pandemic has risen prices and things but $32 for a simple meal like that is outrageous.
Good quality food but forgetful of items you should get... double check your bag. Occasionally out of food items, like their fantastic homemade chips!
This is a really great spot for a quick bite. The usual fast food spot which is clean and has a friendly and helpful employees. What I like the most when I last visit this spot is they have a wide selection on their menu and there are different and a lot of good choices to choose from plus they also have salad. NO one can say no to a burger so that is what I ordered. It is just a typical fast food which only has a small space and few tables inside but this spot has an available outdoor seating with a lot of tables. I was about to eat my food somewhere else but when I saw their outdoor seating, I just chose to eat it there. The burger I got has a nice portion and definitely perfect for me. It is a bit greasy but I do not mind at all because it is well-seasoned, flavorful and delicious for its cheap price. I would like to return in this spot I had a chance.
Great place for lunch I’m the neighborhood! A little pricey, but the food is good. My go to is the Bacon Blue Burger when my favorite specials are not around. I wish some of the specials would make more frequent stops or regular items to the Menu. Some of my favorite past specials was the Lotta Burrata Chicken and Eggplant sandwich, the Fred Flinstone, and the roast beef extraordinaire. Hoping they bring back that lamb sausage, bc I missed that one. I recommend this place to anyone that appreciates good food!
Love this local spot! Greek Chicken Pita and Butternut Squash soup made for an awesome lunch! Fresh, well prepared and great local staff!
